The library computers at Bakersfield College should be used for school purposes only. End of discussion, no questions asked.
I’ve come to this conclusion because the majority of the time I go to the computer commons needing to write a paper, it’s very difficult to find an available computer due to people using the computers for entertainment purposes.
For example, I walked in the other day hoping to get started on an essay, but the computers were all being occupied.
I looked around to notice how many people were actually doing school work and to no surprise, there were only a small handful, while others were busy checking out the latest music videos on YouTube or trying to log into MySpace.
You might be thinking: “Why didn’t you just go upstairs to the library portion where the computers are used for research only?” Well, I did head up there only to find that they were also being occupied by students who were studying and trying to do research.
However, that’s really not the point. The point is that if you want to be entertained in between classes don’t waste you time on the computers. Go read a book, a magazine or better yet, actually do your work from the classes you’re taking.
We’re now in the fifth week of the semester and every class has to have some type of homework assigned.
If you would be so kind to stay off the computer for your own entertainment, I would greatly appreciate it, along with the other students who take advantage of doing their work here at school.
Go and do some homework, enjoy the day outside and drink a latte.
Do as you please, just don’t waste your time away on the computer.
